Here are eight simple ways the woman in your life wishes you would tell her that you love her:

Give us kisses on the forehead.

This move is highly underrated. When executed properly, it is sweet and intimate.

Send us thoughtful texts.

While girls love a real conversation, we are also very appreciative of a sweet text (with proper spelling and grammar!) during the middle of a busy day, just to let us know we're on your mind.

Want bonus points? Text us goodnight, too!

Show us your vulnerable side.

We don't need you to show your soft side to the whole world. In fact, sometimes it's better when we know we are the only ones who get to see that part of you. But don't be afraid to be emotionally intimate and vulnerable with your honey.

Cook for us.

Oh me, oh my, do we ever love it when you cook for us —​ or even when we cook together. It's all gold!

View our quirks with admiration.

Everyone is weird in their own way, and we really like to know that you love our particular quirks.

So don't be afraid, guys! Tell your lady that you adore the way she dances or sings to herself or thinks about the world.

Be true to your word.

We love it when a guy lives by his word and actually does what he says he will, on big issues and small ones. It's a sign of respect and admiration when you come through for us.

Introduce us to your friends.

When we're out and about and we run into someone you know or when you bring us along on an outing with your crew, there's nothing better than hearing you introduce us —​ as your girlfriend.

Bring us chocolate.

No, I'm totally serious. We polled the girls in the office, and they all said that this standby is ALWAYS a solid bet.
